I'm someone who goes by Ze/Zir pronouns. I've done so for years. I originally went by they/them pronouns but I didn't like them much and they just don't feel right for me. When I discovered neopronouns they just felt right. Unfortunately I haven't had much luck getting people to refer to me by my preferred pronouns.

Even here on Lemmy lots of people still refer to me by they/them or worse she/her. It feels really bad. Does anyone else on here struggle with this?

"but since this is kinda new... " I was referring to custom pronouns.

"Pronouns essentially make... " I was also referring to custom pronouns.

Which is what this post is about.

    Do you have any idea how rare those even are, let alone how rare it is to find someone who uses them who'd jump down your throat if you got it mixed up the first time? Who in your life has put you on the spot about that? What community has excommunicated you for this? Ae you just making up scenarios in your head to get mad about?

    I'm not mad and this thread is specifically about neopronouns. I haven't been put on the spot about this but my wife has.

    Well it sure was nice of you to show up in a thread about how hurt and frustrated someone is about people not using their pronouns, to tell us why it's actually their fault because one time someone wasn't nice to your wife.

    I'm not continuing this conversation.
